Backlog cleared as BC Ferries resumes service

Good news if you’re planning a trip across the Georgia Straight today.

B.C. Ferries is not reporting any sailing waits for its major routes, after ferries were cancelled yesterday afternoon in anticipation of a powerful storm.

Spokesperson Deborah Marshall says the company scheduled extra vessels this morning to help handle the extra volume.

“We added an 8 am sailing out of Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen and a 10 am sailing from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay. So that helped clear up some of the back load there. And we also added an additional two round trips between Tsawwassen and Duke Point this morning.”
